WOW! This was an answer to a prayer! I have noticed that playing downwards is so easy. But playing upwards is always a struggle. And I wondered why that was and was trying to figure it out. So, I had started to move my shoulders backwards when playing upwards. It helped. I watched this video yesterday. This morning I moved my upper body backwards (like you suggested) when playing upwards. GAME CHANGER! It was SO easy! I have been giggling about this all morning!! I have also noticed that when rolling cords that my thumb on my right hand would sometimes feel like it was stuck when I play at the top of the strings. WELL! Move my upper body backwards, and NO stuck thumb. AND it sounded wonderful! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! YOU ARE AWESOME!!😊

the comment about staying close to the strings would have been helpful to me when i started - unfortunately without a teacher for the first 3 months and dependent on online ressources - but everyone kept telling me that i need to float off the strings, to move away, to do a heartshaped motion to the sides etc etc … which resulted in ridiculous movement that didn’t help my technique at all. now as an intermediate player i find myself doing all kinds of movements but now it makes sense because i do it with intention and it certainly has a function. what i found most helpful was renié‘s „little movement of the wrist“ though. makes me „float off the string“ without any exaggerated movement.

This is SUCH A TIMELY VIDEO! Wow. I'm a beginner harpist, and I was in so much pain due to a presumably poor posture at the end of my practice session yesterday. I was telling myself that I should research helpful harp tips. Before I even got to the research, you posted this video. I thank God!

I used the Hanon etudes when learned piano as a child and still have the book. Will definitely try them out on the harp now!

I love the idea of moving from the lower to the upper strings and back even for beginners. This is kind of like a bow with a stringed instrument. When you are starting you play more in the middle of the bow or only use half the bow. Then later on it is a struggle to use the whole bow. When getting my masters degree in cello the whole time it was all about the bow and forcing myself to make use of the whole bow frog to tip. Suddenly I was sounded really good! So I agree that moving from bottom to top and back is a fantastic idea even for a beginner.
